Louis Lisle

Louis Lisle aims to materialise the often ambiguous notions of ‘shifting’ and ‘flux’. Beginning his investigations from localised references, places such as construction sites, car parks, and scenes of detritus serve as the points of impermanence in which to recreate the new. His colour palette is often pared down to the primary and secondary colours, boldly registering the viewer's shock in recognising the affects and motifs that structure modern life. The energy of laying down marks – both in the world at large, and on the canvas – continuously disrupts the regularity of any pattern or grid. Lisle’s work is as menacing as it is openly explosive, leaving us dazzled with the interpretative possibilities that rest in uncannily recognisable forms.
